Trump wants the violence. There's a difference between protesting a government that will follow the rules even if the people don't, and protesting a government that won't follow the rules even if the people do.

1. Yeah, just because I'm not proud today doesn't mean I've been a booster of every other thing the U.S. has done for the past quarter century. 2. That said, let's not pretend that now is no different than any other poin

We need this for video and audio, with metadata baked in. “I didn’t say that.” “This recording says you did.”

We shouldn't just try to save jet fuel, we should also try to avoid contrails -- only about 5% of flights generate them, but they cause roughly half of the global warming caused by flights in general. https://www.youtube.com

I hope this doesn't negatively affect Laika -- I very much like their films.

Agreed! Despite the fact that trainyard has been defunct for ~8 years, I didn't want to simply clone it. I tried to give a similar, but not the same, experience -- I'd be very curious to know how close you think I came.

About fifteen years ago a puzzle game called Trainyard came out for iOS and took my dev team by storm for a few weeks. It ceased getting updates some years ago and isn't on the app store anymore. So I came up with a variant on it and j

I think they mean there was a greater variation in reluctance than might be expected, or that there was some serious arm-twisting to get people to go along, which had future consequences.

We use structured output and To my knowledge it has never failed (millions of data points). There seem to be two classes of people: those doing productive work with LLMs, and those who only get replies insulting their mothers…

They’re nondeterministic at a fine level, but can be “deterministic” at a more general level: e.g. you might know that one model will always return properly formatted json when asked. That might not be true of the replacement, even if it is

Yeah, velocity definitely jumped out at me as a difference, but it seems(?) like being velocity-sensitive could 2x the cost, maybe even 3x, but not 10x ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm absolutely not calling it over-priced, just puzzled.

It's just an oversight that they haven't started manufacturing Brawndo, the Thirst Mutilator.

Any idea why something like this costs $5,000? It seems like manufacturing costs would justify 1/10th of that maybe? Disclaimer: I'm not a hardware manufacturer nor retailer, I'm just going off what regular typing keyboards g

To all those claiming it makes no sense that Apple wouldn't foresee this, think about the lower demand than Apple expected for the Apple Vision and the iPhone Air. If they can get caught off guard by low sales, they can get caught off

I know the globe is unintuitive (it still blows my mind that Muslims in New York City face roughly northeast to point toward Mecca) but it still seems bizarre that the water route can start near the arctic circle, cross the Pacific ocean, n

Then fix that. This administration is eager to point out problems and propose "just don't do that" as a solution. The problem is that to them, pretty much everything is a problem, so they're proposing we do nothing.

silly question from someone who's never played fps: how do you get the camera to face the way the player is moving? For me the camera is always facing the same way, so if the player is walking toward the camera I can only see behind hi

No matter how absurd the situation becomes, no matter how engaging the videos are, we should never be fooled into thinking Iran are the good guys. This is an unfortunate, ill-conceived war, but that doesn't clean Iran's hands.

I'm a product manager. We work with Claude Code all the time, so I'm in Terminal pretty regularly. One of the developers insisted that I need to use his flavor of shell. He set it up to load automatically whenever I run Terminal,
